WINNERS - Best of the Best Business Awards 2014

The Best of the Best Business Awards honour the outstanding achievements of dynamic small businesses across each county of the United Kingdom.

Specifically aimed at companies employing less than 20 people or with an annual turnover of less than £1m, the Awards provide small businesses with a platform to gain the recognition they deserve and attract more business.

Best of the Best Business Awards 2014 - Winner of the Best Corporate Social Responsibility Category

Commenting on the award to First Choice Recruitment, the winner in the Best Corporate Social Responsibility category, the Chairman of the judges said: "First Choice Recruitment was a clear winner for responding quickly to the growing problem of rising unemployment among the under 25s. To help get jobs for young people, it launched the Wakefield Works campaign in 2012. All it asks employers to do is sign up to the campaign and offer a minimum of one week's work for one person. To date the imaginative and practical campaign has helped 30 youngsters gain work experience and nine find full-time employment with more to follow. Overall, a really worthwhile and timely initiative."

Commenting on the award to First Choice Recruitment, the winner in the Best Business category, the Chairman of the judges said: "With 21 years of experience behind it, First Choice Recruitment coped brilliantly with the challenges of the recent recession. By focusing on providing a quality recruitment solution and building up long-term relationships with its clients in Yorkshire, it has managed to beat the downturn. Turnover has been on the up and up over the past few years rising by an amazing 10.3% in 2012/2013 and staff numbers have grown too. Once again, good old fashioned dazzling customer service has proved itself to be a winner."
